I am very happy that I switched to AMD and for my game dev work is mega fast and perfect. I can't even imagine what the new refresh of the Threadripper and reg Ryzen CPUs will be like! 2018 is going to be good times for AMD.

Hate to burst your bubble....
same gpu and I only have 4 cores. Good thing you do stuff outside of gaming.

No OC, just allowed 120% power target on the card so it can stretch its legs a bit.

This looks to be about the same level of demanding, if not more, than Assassin'S Creed Origins. I know a LOT of people will be very disappointed.

Some details:

- there were frame drops, some quite significant, on High, even @1080p. A bit of stuttering as well, but the framedrops (for example about the time when starting to ride that bird thing/entering the furry animals zone) were horrible
- the CPU usage is significant. I expect this to be the first thing to piss people off. It uses 12 threads on my 8700K, CPU is usually around 50%, but it did went as high as 85%. It seems necessary to keep a 1070Ti fed @1080p/High. So if you have a lower end CPu and a good card, there might be issues, but we'll still need to wait for the game to be released
- VRAM usage is topping around 5 GB in my case. 16 GB of system RAM seems enough
- since this uses Hairworks, I hope for a AA slider like Witcher 3. It helped my GTX 970 quite a bit, the game would not be playable at 60 fps with 8xMSAA on the hair, but was fine with 4xMSAA. These settings should be the first to be turned down, as they offer minimal image quality improvement for insane GPU power requirements
- 4K/Standard is... playable on my PC, I guess - if you're the console type and accept 30fps. I'll definitely stick to 1080p however.

Overall, it does look good and promising. But if it will stutter as much in the game itself, I'm not buying this.

No issues here with a 6600k. In fact I beat quite a few people with 1080tis with i7s and even someone with a threadripper. Game will use the threads but who knows what it's doing with them.
